The recent
article about how a Russian general is claiming
the U.S. guided their satellite into the Russian satellite
should definitely be taken with many grains of salt.

Does anyone else question the credibility of a Russian
General (ret.) talking about a US conspiracy to take out
foreign satellites in the State-owned
Russian news agency? If you don’t, you probably
should.
This sounds like nothing but Russian propaganda, to me. For
the hearing impared, it smells and looks like it, too.

Sure, a (very) loosely related DARPA
program may have existed, but let’s not take their
state-owned word for it when they say the program’s
purpose
was to go out and destroy other satellites.

We’d probably never know for sure if it really was
a secret
US Military test. Remember, just because the odds were long
doesn’t make it impossible. It makes it unlikely.
Sometimes
unlikely things happen.
